that motor is sick, its to bad you wont see the details like the crank or the valley.

Hey,

Nice color. Is the nose on that car 1 piece? Or did you mold it in like that? Sweet hemi. Thats a resin kit right? My lhs has them I reckon...how is it so far? Good luck with it.

Hey thanks. the nose is 2 pieces, and needed a ton of work to make it fit right.
also the first time i used one of these engines . it is really nice so far!.
they also have shop series engines you can put them on a stand and see all the detail such as pistons etc..

I can feel it already....this is gonna be another stunning piece of art!! :naughty:

It is real shame to close that masterpiece of engine, but I know I would do it, it makes me happy only to know what sweet stuff is packed somewhere in there. Nice work, how much is that engine in the shops?

I love it, the color suits the car so well.

Yeah, that is going to be awesome!! Can't wait to see it finished!!!!!

Off to a great start James!!!!

Looks like a promessing project!!

Looks good so far, I like the color :sunglasse

This one looks good. keep up the good work!!!

looking good james

Lookin' good, but...

here is the DM distributor after being wired up. i left it aluminum for the billet look.

The distributor cap would never be aluminum, the base, yes, but not the cap.

With how nice it's looking and all those neat engine parts it would be a shame to miss something so simple and prominent...

And... not to be picky, just helpful, the distributor boots look a bit long and you may end up with hood clearance problems later. It would be easier to fix it before putting it on the engine... - Mark

I thought of this also. but on the Hemi it sits on such an angle i dont think it will be a problem. but if it is ,it is a simple fix . thanks for the advice! :)

Those Ross Gibson engines rock.Nice paint too.

Looking great James, love the colour.

I love the colour, I think it looks right for the car's age without looking tacky today.

Well not much new, but i polished the paint, and started to apply the BMF, i needed to take a break after applying BMF on the door handels! man what a pain in the butt that is lol.

and i decided to use steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps! going for a plain jane sleeper look!

I love it. Nice stance, nice color.

wow,beautiful colour,
and the engine is so awesome,
can't wait to see it done!!!

Sweet! looks very promessing!

Another build from you that i will be following as always.
The steel wheels set it of just nicely

:iagree: great job!

You nailed the stance, it's looking quietly evil... - Mark

lookin good

I don´t know what to say..
I just can´t get my eyes of this one! Would suggest some wider tires in the back though:D

The recent rise in the level of Mopar models being built is making me extremely happy, especially when they look as sweet as this one does! Excellent engine,it puts the RM one to shame.

Looking fine. I like it a lot.

Looking mighty fine!
Nice colour and the wheels suites it perfect, good for a change to see a plain jane when almost everybody else is going for the bling style. Have to get me one of these, always thought it was a looker and with a hemi stuck under the hood....what can one say!?
